English

Subject field(s)
  • Equipment (Chemistry)
  • Analytical Chemistry
DEF

A pen whose color-changing ink indicates if a paper or a paperboard is acidic or alkaline.

CONT

The pH testing pen is easy to use; simply draw a small line on the material you wish to test. The Chlorophenol red indicator solution in the pen will turn purple on any paper with a pH of 6. 8 and above. A clear or yellow colour indicates the material is probably unsuitable for conservation purposes.

Key term(s)

DEF

[Stylo] à embout de feutre [permettant] de déterminer rapidement et à sec si le pH d'un papier ou d'un carton est acide ou alcalin.

OBS

Même s'il s'agit de deux notions différentes, certains auteurs utilisent les termes «crayon indicateur de pH» et «crayon testeur de pH» pour désigner le stylo pH.

Record 4 2006-05-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
DEF

Any immunologic procedure in which a labeled indicator is added to the specifically reacting antigen and antibody. Most often it is a solid-phase immunosorbent procedure in which the labeled reactant is immunologically similar to the immobilized reactant, thereby sandwiching the material under test between layers of known reactants. Indirect fluorescent antibody techniques are also sandwich techniques.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
CONT

Techniques d'immunofluorescence. [...] Technique en sandwich : technique utilisée pour identifier la présence d'un anticorps dans des tissus. L'antigène est incubé avec le tissu et sa fixation est révélée par un antisérum marqué spécifique de cet antigène.

CONT

[...] la détection de l'antigène HBs repose sur une technique radio-immunologique utilisant le principe du «sandwich» dans lequel les anticorps anti-HBs sont fixés sur un support solide. Le sérum ou le plasma à tester est ajouté au milieu de réaction et, en cas de positivité, les antigènes se fixent sur les anticorps.

OBS

Pluriel : des sandwichs; des sandwiches.

OBS

sandwichs (pl.) : Cette graphie, puisée des Rectifications de l'orthographe recommandées par le Conseil supérieur de la langue française, est attestée dans le Petit Robert (2006).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Rheology
DEF

This is the concept that a material has a preferred strain direction.

OBS

In sheet material, plastic anisotropy is measured as the ratio of width strain to thickness strain. This value is called the r-value and measures the tendency of the sheet to thin under deformation. It also is an indicator of the directional differences in a rolled material like sheet.

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry

CONT

Permeation is the most important indicator of the usefulness of a particular chemical protective material. Permeation is the process by which a liquid or gaseous chemical passes through the material at a molecular level.... The second means of chemical intrusion is degradation. This is the deterioration of the clothing material caused by the action of a chemical.... Finally, penetration is the flow of a liquid or gaseous chemical through closures, seams, pin-holes or similar types of openings.... All three of these intrusion methods must be taken into account when choosing protective materials.
